There is no bonk, there is only the talented, and the less talented.
"“WHAT IS TALENT, REALLY? … [INDENT] *“… IS IT THE FACT THAT YOUR HEART PUMPS MORE VOLUME THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON’S, OR THAT YOUR BLOOD TURNS LESS ACIDIC WHEN EXERCISING SO THAT YOU RECOVER FASTER? NO—TALENT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR CAPACITY FOR SUFFERING. YOU JUST LEARN TO SUFFER MORE.

IN THE END, MAYBE, THERE IS NO EXPLAINING."
